    Hello everybody!!!,
    This is another dramatic story about a boy and his car, or should I say his fathers car. My father p***ed away in 1989 when I was 10 and had left the last car he worked on to me. Back in 1997 I was forced to sell my fathers '53 ford victoria. I had not the money nor the room or know how to know what to do with it, and needed any money i could get to pay for college. So my mother contacted an old friend of my fathers to sell the car, he was located in Lombard Illinois. He picked the car up from our house in Villa Park and that was the last I saw of it. My father had started customizing the car and had put in a chevy 350 out of an old nova it had a black and aluminum olderstyle edelbrock finned valve cover and air cleaner with I believe a 350 trans. It also had side vents built into the quarter panels just before the rear wheels, and frenched lakepipe bezels just behind the front wheel openings. Frenched headlights, nosed decked and lowered. It was sold with an illinois ***le around '97. The car would have had mismatched interior panels of red and white with green and white fabric on the door panels. Last I knew it was brown primer...oh and it had 47 lincoln push ****on door handles....I am looking to see where the car might be now...any info or leads would be very much appreaciated....
    Thanks!!
    JTO
